I need some serious help. I used to have an MPC 2000 a while ago.. ok i still got it but it mite as well not be there coz its screwed up now. About 2 years ago, i got the bangin beats zip disk set which was about £300 and i loved it. Now i got an MPC 1000. I borrowed a usb zip drive to try n copy the files from zip disk to my hard drive so i could eventually move them to my 1000. The files didnt move. They maybe copywritten, i dont know. I tried to contact Bangin Beats to see if they could help but no reply so far. I know its not really specifically a music related question, but HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

hahahahhaaha!!!!

ur FUKED!!! ..........

first of all... The files can copy to PC providing these Conditions are correct (also for working on a MPC1000)

The ZIP must be working in the first place, IOMEGA DRIVERS are installed with lastest software etc...

[Get MPC EDITOR PROGRAM as well!! - just incase you need to repair the boot sector, this might revive it!]

1. 8 CHARS only on each file, this means the names of the files can be only 8 letters long anything over will give u duplicate file names when u copy over to PC.

2. You Can ONLY!!! Use .MIDI and .PGM files...and WAV!! So you might have to RESAVE your files...

No .SND, No APS and NO .all (if you read the description for the 1000 you would have noticed that it does not have compatability for these files)

I Hope you took care of them ZIPS man!! cause your fuked other wise!!
